well ive just recently learned about social anxiety disorder, just from browsing the websites and stuff and i must say i definitly know i have it. its funny because i never thought i had a condition or anything i just thought i was always super shy.

but anyways..i also have this other problem...kindof a bad habit that started in high school...i play music and i pace..and while i do this i have conversations in my head...with either people i know, made up people, or people i would like to meet. i dont actually hear voices, its always me talking in my head, somewhat kindof like daydreaming as well. but anyways i can do this for hours on end. i spend so much time doing it too. and sometimes i just have urges to do it, usually when i get excited about things in my daily life. i dont know if i do it because i am pretty lonely or for some other reason. ive read about OCD and was wondering if this could be that?..although its not like i have to do it everyday..but i do spend hours upon hours doing it..

please help with advice/comments if you can

I do the same thing, not for hours on end but I do it a lot. Mainly I imagine myself asking a girl out and it goes perfectly haha. Its just a part of wanting something I guess.

Could be ADHD, ADD, or OCD. You may want to get in contact with a psychologist or psychiatrist to get a professional opinion.

Your not crazy Cool

Sound like you just have a lot of extra times on your hands to me. I dont know. My suggestion is kind of odd but I really think from now on you should start writting down the things in your head on a note book and date it. Why not catalog it for the future. You never know when you might want to write a book or something. Start writting those day dreams down and tell us how it goes.

I make up conversations in case i see someone i know somewhere, kind of like rehearsing the situation should it occur.

You aren't crazy at all. I do this all the time too except I talk out loud and I didn't really realize how weird it made me feel until when I had a huge urge to do it while I was out in public. I wish the people were real too but on the plus side I really enjoy the conversations I make up!
